The Trial of the Young R0gues
Develops Bad State
of Affairs.
A Letter From Chas. Hlmburg-
The Tills of the Sedalia Kids.

Justice Halstead's court room was
pretty well filled with young hoodlums
yesterday afternoon, who came to hear
the evidence in the trial of Charles
Conkle, George Davis and Peter Null
ligan, charged with burgiarizing Mr..
Wipprechts store in East Sedalia.
The boys were arraigned at 2 p. M,
and pleaded not guilty. The stolen
goods, or at least as much of them as
has been found, were produced into
court and the testimony showed con-
clusively their guilt, it being pretty
much as stated IN the BAzoo at the
time of their arrest. Davis and Null
ligan, however, varied their story
from that told at the police station by
claiming that instead of being en- route
to Pittsburg they were going to
Kansas City to find work. During
the trial among other papers produc-
ed, and which were taken from
Conkle, was letter from Chas. Him.

Sedalia, who rode 200 miles ON the

lar, and as it treats of several boys
who formerly resided in Sedalia,

he got ditched himself. He staid in Jail
about three weeks and then he was sent to
the boys and girls aid society at San

big as Burt is. Burt is punk. Conk don't |
